Continuity of care is key to ensuring exceptional outcomes for patient and community health. It is very exciting to bring home health into our clinical pathways! #populationhealth @OSUWexMed

Building the infrastructure for pop health strategies is key. Those relationships take time to form trust since one person’s cost is often someone else’s revenue. Center initiatives around doing what’s right for patients will steer you in the right direction! @OSUWexMed #proudDO
“This illustrates the long-term commitment required by ACOs and that success doesn’t happen overnight, but take years of hard work.” Clif Gaus @NAACOSnews

“We must have diversity, but that alone is not enough. Diversity is like opening up a jigsaw puzzle and throwing all the pieces on the table. Inclusion is when you put the pieces together,” says Karen J. Nichols, DO.

Behavioral health is essential to overall health. Our ACO complex care team has added no cost counseling services via our awesome LISW for our at risk beneficiaries! Doing the right thing for patients will lead to lower total cost of care and make a huge difference! @OSUWexMed

9 minutes 29 seconds. I can’t imagine the renewed sense of loss and horror our fellow American’s of color must be experiencing. I am not likely to die from an interaction with a cop. That’s my birth privilege. George didn’t have that opportunity due to the color of his skin.

Totally agree. I always have the ‘seeing a hematologist does not mean you have cancer talk.’ We often use e-consults for hematology nowadays. Patient doesn’t have to go anywhere but still gets awesome high quality consultation! Low stress!
If you are referring a patient to hematology/oncology and are NOT concerned about cancer, please tell them so.
Scheduling an appointment in a hematology oncology clinic can be incredibly distressing and cause unneeded duress.

The RDN I have the privilege to work with in our integrated care team primary care clinic helped me out today in such a big way with a PEG tube patient. Invaluable colleague!
At Mid-Ohio Food Collective, we've seen that food is health. Regular access to nutritious food, over time, is shown to improve overall health outcomes. Our on-staff Registered Dietician, along with RDNs across our community & beyond, are working to help create healthier lives!

The root of this is the fee for service construct. Lots of history on how that evolved, but it fits revenue side of balance sheets neatly. Allowing commoditization of what should be a human interaction. It ignores how best to care for patients in exchange for a business model
Who on earth decided that twenty minutes was even close to enough time to room a patient, review their med list, discuss their concerns, complete a physical exam, counsel them, and address their questions? Don’t come for my efficiency, this is a system issue #FamilyMedicine

.@OUHCOM's Community Health Programs will distribute COVID-19 vaccines in southeast Ohio via its mobile clinics. OHIO will work with health departments in counties with the highest need for approximately two months to distribute the vaccines. Read more📰: ohio.edu/news/2021/03/ohios-…
And also in primary care clinics
With the approval of the J&J vaccine, I propose that the Government stock them in Emergency Departments and anyone presenting with a history of homelessness, mental health issues or who has multiple risk factors for severe disease be vaccinated during their ED encounter.

HSS website update,
"HSS celebrates the transition to a single GME accreditation system, allowing us to welcome candidates from osteopathic (DO) and allopathic (MD) programs, and others who meet ACGME eligibility requirements." Thanks Dr. Robbins! @NationalSOMA @COSGP @AOAforDOs
HSS to remove language excluding DO students from clinical rotations. Spoke to Dr. Laura Robbins, very responsive. They value and welcome DO students. This was an administrative oversight. It will be immediately corrected. Thank you Dr. Robbins! @AOAforDOs @NationalSOMA @COSGP
